Complete sequence and comparative analysis of the chloroplast genome of coconut palm (Cocos nucifera).

Coconut, a member of the palm family (Arecaceae), is one of the most economically important trees used by mankind. Despite its diverse morphology, coconut is recognized taxonomically as only a single species (Cocos nucifera L.). There are two major coconut varieties, tall and dwarf, the latter of wh...
